Startech CN K

The Startech CN K is a compact 3-axis CNC machining centre manufactured by SCM Group, engineered for precision routing, engraving, and detail work on wood and composite materials. Its primary function is to execute high-speed milling operations and decorative detailing across small to medium production runs, with particular strength in applications requiring fine surface finish and dimensional accuracy. The machine is built around a rigid 915×610 mm X-Y working envelope with 176 mm Z-axis stroke and 160 mm workpiece clearance, enabling processing of components ranging from thin decorative panels to solid timber sections. The electrospindle delivers 2.4 kW of continuous power at speeds up to 24,000 rpm, paired with a 60 mm maximum tool diameter capacity—specifications that support both aggressive material removal for base routing and high-speed spindle operation for detailed engraving and finishing passes. Linear axis speeds of 5 m/min (X-Y) and 2.5 m/min (Z) ensure consistent feed rates and cycle time predictability across repeated operations. This machine is purpose-built for small to medium woodworking operations, custom millwork shops, and specialized manufacturers producing low-to-medium volume batches. It suits workshops requiring versatility across multiple material types—solid wood, MDF, plywood, and composite panels—without capital investment in large format equipment. The compact footprint makes it accessible for space-constrained shops while the precision electrospindle addresses applications where surface quality and detail definition directly impact finished product value.
